Disclaimer & Legal

1. Parody Notice

The Art of the Dill is a satirical publication protected under the First Amendment and applicable parody/fair use doctrines. All recipes contained herein are genuine culinary creations intended for actual consumption. All political commentary, “spin zones,” scandal spice ratings, and fact-check garnishes are intended purely for humor and entertainment. If you cannot distinguish satire from real news, we recommend spending less time on social media and more time in the kitchen.

2. No Affiliation

This website is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or in any way connected to any sitting or former political figure, political party, government agency, Super PAC, think tank, cable news network, or Department of Homeland Seasoning. The opinions expressed in our recipes do not reflect the views of any real person, organization, or condiment brand. Any resemblance to actual political events, policy decisions, or late-night tweets is intentional but satirical.

3. Fictional Content

All staff biographies, editorial personas, and quoted sources on this website are fictional. “Chef Gherkin McPicklesworth” is not a real person. “P. Brineman III” does not hold a journalism degree. No one named “Dill O’Reilly” fact-checks our recipes. If any of these names match a real person, that is a coincidence so improbable it should be investigated by our (also fictional) fact-checking department.

4. Recipe Safety

While our recipes are real and tested, nutrition information is estimated and should not be relied upon for medical or dietary decisions. Consult a healthcare professional before making significant dietary changes based on anything you read on a satirical cookbook website. We are not responsible for allergic reactions, kitchen fires, or the social consequences of serving well-done steak with ketchup at a dinner party.

5. Copyright & Fair Use

All original content on this website — including recipes, commentary, ratings, and design — is copyright © 2026 The Art of the Dill. All rights reserved. Unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or syndication of our content will be met with a pickle thrown in your direction. And our aim is surprisingly good.

Fair use of our content for criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, or scholarship is permitted under applicable law. If you’re quoting us in an academic paper, we are both flattered and concerned about the state of academia.

6. DMCA & Takedown Requests

If you believe any content on this site infringes your copyright, please don’t contact us. Seriously. We’re a satirical cookbook. But if you absolutely must, and your lawyer insists, and you’ve exhausted all other options including meditation and a long walk — then you may submit a formal DMCA notice to the contact information provided elsewhere on this site. We will review it with the same urgency that Congress reviews bipartisan legislation, which is to say: eventually.

7. Governing Law

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the United States of Flavor, a jurisdiction that exists only in our imagination but carries the full moral authority of anyone who’s ever successfully made hollandaise from scratch. Any disputes shall be resolved in the Court of Public Seasoning, presided over by the Honorable Judge Dill.

8. Contact

Frankly, we don’t care about your offense. But if you must communicate with us regarding legal matters, recipe complaints, or existential crises brought on by our scandal spice ratings, you may use the contact form on this website. All correspondence will be read, chuckled at, and filed under “Things That Keep Us Going.”
